Ringu is adapted from the critically acclaimed author Koji Suzuki, he has written books such as dark water and Death and the flower. I have read the book and watched the film and both are great! the book will allow you to imagine the scenarios your self and goes into more details on certain parts of the story but the film will frighten you and make those hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.

Is she behind you? will answer the phone when it rings?

The DVD has a few extra features, trailers for films and some information on the ringu franchise, but the best is the killer video.

This movie will scare you, it mixes urban legend with 21st century (or at least VHS) this mix captivates the audience and lures them into believing the story.in my opinion every one should see this movie at least once.
